Stokes Returns To England Fold

England have handed a recall to Ben Stokes for the third Test against India at Trent Bridge on Saturday with Sam Curran making way. The selectors have wasted no time in bringing the 27-year-old Durham all-rounder back into the fold after he was found not guilty of affray earlier in the week.

Stokes’ trial at Bristol Crown Court meant he missed the second Test at Lord’s, which England comfortably won by an innings and 159 runs to go 2-0 ahead in the five-match series.
